Our Contribution

Preserving The Indian Knowledge System & Heritage Since 2008

Since its establishment, the Trust has played a pivotal role in organizing inter-school competitions for students of Vedic and Sanskrit studies, nurturing their confidence and enthusiasm. With a network of over 300 empaneled Vedic Patashalas and Sanskrit institutions, it strives to deepen the understanding and appreciation of ancient scriptures.

In addition to its educational efforts, the Trust also provides financial assistance to underprivileged students, ensuring inclusive access to learning and contributing to holistic societal development.

HERITAGE PROTECTION

Enhancing the students with soft skills and vocational education even as they pursue contemporary academics and heritage education.

Heritage Promotion

For 15 years, OM Charitable Trust has organized a national Vedic competition, engaging over 8,000 students across India. In 2024, it launched a structured Vedic Examination to provide formal certification, scholarships, and recognition, marking a major step toward institutionalizing Vedic education and empowering its learners.

Heritage Protection

The number of teachers and learners of Vedas education have been dwindling exponentially over the year and unless  people come together to address this and rejuvenate the Vedic culture our posterity will stand to lose this invaluable treasure of India.

WHY VEDAS NEED TO BE PROTECTED

01

Sharp intellect, impeccable conduct and pious disposition
are essential to understand the import of vedas. Vedic Scholars protect the world by their very presence.

02

Valuable Indian Tradition based on Vedas leads to everlasting bliss. Evan scent pleasures have robbed people of peace.
Revival of Vedas leads to world peace.

03

Vedic Mantras are Universal and Catholic. Many Mantras have vanished with passage of time.
Preservation of what is left to the posterity paves way for prosperity.

04

Synchronization of vedic knowledge with modern science will ensure resurgent
Bharat to become Economic and Educational Superpower in the World.

05

Peace and harmony lost due
to commercial exploitation of scientific discoveries can be best restored by vedic culture and implementing codes of conduct enunciated in Vedas.

06

Secrets hidden in Vedas need to be culled out to understand the
fundamentals of life science and to make the human life meaningful and mutually beneficial.
